I am not much of a writer so when I found out I was going to be writing about what God is doing in my life now and about my journey on the race I started to feel a little overwhelmed. Not from the trip but from the blogging! haha
This process to peacefully knowing it’s Gods calling for me to go on the race has been a long one… It took a good 3 to 4 months of lots of praying, and interceding before I truly knew it was God calling me to go on with this journey. Lets take a few steps back..
About 3 years ago I got prophesied over, I got told that in 2 to 3 years I will be taking part in something very BIG. They had no idea what I was going to be doing but they knew it was going to be for Gods glory! He also said that I will be working with orphanages and on top of that it was going to be with young girls. (This trip we may have the privilege to work with some orphanages). As I was praying over this trip and about my decision on whether or not I should be going God had revealed this prophesy over me of which I had forgotten about. This is point number one on how I knew God was leaning me over onto this trip.
I also have had a couple dreams of confirmation. In my dream there was this white rectangular building with a wooden fence around it. I never knew what this meant so out of curiosity I googled it! (Google has the answer to everything.. Right? haha) Well this is when I knew it was God speaking… The first building that popped up was of the exact building I dreamt about! Across the building it said “Girls Orphanage”.. I am not sure if where we go on this trip will be strictly a girls orphanage but I know God has called me to the nations after that.
I had been freaking out about the trip.. worrying about my career when I come back, worrying about what I am leaving behind etc. But after praying and getting to learn more about Christ He has put such a peace over my body that is so comforting and lets me know that my decision by going on World Race is the decision He wants me to take.
Lastly, some scriptures God has given me after the decision of going on the race which has given me great comfort in knowing that the decision I have just made is the right one!
Isaiah 61
A day of being scared, worried, and afraid of if my decision was the right one, God gave me this..
Matthew 14:27 “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid”
John 14:16 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever” (In some translations Counsellor is changed to Comforter 🙂 )
One of my favourites was this.. Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
Thanks for all of you for supporting me by reading my blogs, praying for me and financially supporting me. You will be greatly blessed!
God Bless,
